The Commodity Futures Trading Commission terminated about a dozen probationary employees last month, including attorneys in its enforcement and market oversight divisions, effective immediately. The move points to a modest reduction in regulatory capacity at a key U.S. derivatives watchdog. Market impact is likely limited, but the staffing cut is a small negative for enforcement intensity and oversight breadth.
